Never Have I Had To Work So Hard To Avoid Making A "Tony! Toni! Toné!" Joke In All Of My Life

.

That's the first image I've seen (not that I've once again been looking too hard; slacker!) of The United States Of Tara, otherwise known as the Showtime series produced by Steven Spielberg, written by Diablo "Juno" Cody, and starring the incorrigable Toni Collette. The pic's coming at you from SlashFilm, where they tell us:

"... United States of Tara will premiere at 10pm on January 18th 2009. ... The series stars Toni Collette as a mother with multiple personality disorder. The comedy comes with how the different family members and friends deal with her different personalities."

I haven't written much on this show because it makes me angry that I don't have Showtime and that my brain is too frugal to argue for adding it to my cable line-up just for one show, but I will indeed catch it when it's released on DVD or online or where ever, because Toni Collette must be artistically (and financially) supported until the end of days. So say me all!

I'd just like to point out how incredibly amazing Toni Collette is. If The Black Balloon were to be actually be seen by more than five people in America I'm sure she'd be a contender for Oscars. She was really good in that.
